(6) Seekers (1)
It was as if desperately swimming from the endless deep sea to survive, and at the moment of breaking through the water level...... Then, the feeling of returning from the suffocating and hopeless space to the sunny day and regaining his life prompted Void Silence to let out a heavy dry cough and sit up suddenly!
A pair of hands gently reached for his head and removed a pair of headbands attached to his head.
As soon as Silent looked up, he met the smiling expression of the flight attendant.
"Congratulations both." A man dressed as a young man walked up to the awakened Void and Nolan, and announced with a smile, "Congratulations on successfully passing the most difficult part, the hunter simulation test, and walking out of the program designed by the computer." From this moment on, you have obtained the qualifications to become the first order of Phantom Hunters. â
"We're still on the plane?" Nolan, whose face was a little pale, looked around, and saw that on the passenger plane that was originally full, there was no one else except the airman in front of him, the two flight attendants, his brother and himself. She tapped her head to make sure she wasn't dreaming, "And this is the first flight to New York?" â
"Yes, both of them were on the plane all the time. Shortly after we took off, we put both of us into a computer program while asleep, and that was just part of the process. â
"Holy! You're just playing with people, huh? You drugged my drink, didn't you?! ......" Nolan blushed angrily.
At this time, he slid his finger to open one side of the curtain, and at a glance he saw the apron and the familiar airport building in the unmoving window, and he couldn't help asking: "Are we still in Haihua City?" â
"Yes, we've always been in Haihua City." Kong Shao maintained a warm smile, and then took a step back and made a gesture of invitation to the two of them, "Outside the airport, another special shuttle aircraft has been prepared, two of you." â
Rubbing Nolan's frizzy hair, he stood up silently and said to his sister, "It's useless to be angry with these guys, let's go, it's time for us to move on to the next level." â
Nolan snorted heavily, stood up, pouted, and stepped off the plane behind his brother, stepping on familiar ground again.
Two young girls in white stood under the plane and waited, took the flight attendants' shifts, and led Silent and Nolan into a city aircraft. After flying for a short time, one of the iconic buildings of Haihua City, the Moon Hunting Building, appeared in front of them, and Xumo suddenly understood where their destination was.
After the aircraft stopped on the air apron on the highest floor of the Moon Hunting Building, Silent and Nolan followed the footsteps of the two girls to the transparent elevator in the outer ring, and after entering, this elevator only had a stop button, and the number was ...... Zīŧ
Pressing the Z button, Silent and Nolan saw that the scenery outside the transparent elevator instantly turned into a vague pattern, they couldn't feel whether the direction of the elevator was up or down, in short, finally with a "ding" sound - the elevator door opened, and a boxy, empty milky white room appeared in front of them, and a familiar back stood alone in the middle of the room.
The back heard the sound behind him, turned half of his face, and commented lightly: "You guys are so slow." "Zuo Ci?!" Nolan exclaimed in surprise, "We looked for you in the training center for a long time, and you suddenly disappeared!" â
"It came out early in the morning." Xumo watched his sister trotting all the way to meet Zuo Ci's back, pacing away, and said.
"This so-called training test is so simple, I realized the truth that night, and I came out after the meeting with you." Zuo Ci replied in a light tone. "Then why don't you tell us what you think? We can do it together! Nolan pouted.
"Nolan, don't make trouble, what that training wants is that we can self-awareness and self-growth, if it is reminded by Zuo Ci, we may not be able to do a good job as a Phantom Ranger in the future. People are doing this for our good. Silence stepped forward and touched Nolan's head.
Then, he turned his head to look at Zuo Ci: "Then you have been waiting for us here for most of the day, right?" â
"It's okay, I just waited an hour." Zuo Ci pulled out a light smile, which can be regarded as thanking Xumo for the kind words he just said for himself.
"It seems that a day in that virtual world is almost equal to an hour in the real world." Silence nodded.
As the three of them were talking, the elevator behind them sounded again, first the clear sky, then Witt, two in succession, one after the other, everyone gathered again.
"Here came five of us, only five of us...... Do we have to wait until all the people who have passed the training are in place before we can move on to the next step? After giving Clear Sky a big hug, Nolan ran around the empty white room, poking at the walls everywhere, but found nothing special.
"If you really have to wait, you will have to wait for almost two days. An hour is equivalent to a day in that virtual world, and when I first entered, the staff could say that I would train for a month......"
Before the silent voice fell, a deep baritone voice sounded out of thin air in the room.
"It doesn't have to be, we divide it into groups of five. Starting today, you are officially a member of a squad. â
Then, a blue light flashed in the middle of the room, and after a few distorted images that seemed to appear only when space was torn apart, a phantasm of a tall man appeared in the center of the room.
The man was about six feet eight inches, with a short golden head and a golden beard, a sharp nose, a fierce eye, and a dark blue marching uniform with a number of badges on his shoulders. As soon as his phantom landed, he opened his mouth to introduce himself: "I am the current president of the Phantom Hunter Council, the former head of the Sixth Legion of the United Guards of the Universe, Dorne, hello everyone. â
After these words fell, there was a brief cold scene, and Nolan trotted from a corner of the room to the Phantom of Dorne and asked, "Uncle, should there be applause at this moment?" â
Dorne was stunned by her question, and finally silently brought Nolan to his side, showing a slightly embarrassed and sorry expression to the president.
President Dorn then coughed awkwardly and continued his explanation: "First of all, congratulations to the five, we are very impressed by the excellent observation and judgment that you have managed to get out of the virtual world in a very short period of time while the others are still struggling with the casino or elsewhere. From this moment on, you have earned the qualifications to become Phantom Hunters, which is an extremely glorious achievement, proving that you are the elite of the Alpha Million, with great willpower, action, and excellent character. At the same time, it is also the beginning of responsibility, and the difficulties ahead may be more than you can imagine, but compared to the lives you are about to save, there is nothing but glory and pride. Now you follow me in reading the Phantom Ranger Oath and saluting, and when this vow and oath is over, you will be honorably officially a member of the Phantom Ranger - understood? "Understood!!" The five of them responded in unison very loudly, which caused quite a stir in the room.
Dorn nodded in satisfaction, and then, standing up straight, folded his hands into fists and placed them in front of his chest, and read aloud: "Today, we swear by the heart of a hunter, I dedicate my body to the gods, and use my soul to ignite the fighting spirit and save people!" Till death rest!! â
Silence, Nolan, Clear Sky, Zuo Ci, and Witt posed very seriously, poured their feelings into every word of the oath, and conscientiously fulfilled their entry oath.
"Very well, as of today, you have officially become a part of the Phantom Hunters. An email will be sent to your email shortly, providing your account information to log in to the Hunter system, as well as a detailed description describing the Hunter's rights and responsibilities, including the criteria for promotion. In the entire Phantom Ranger system, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties and losses, and gradually cultivate the ability of each level of hunters, we will divide the levels according to your hunter points. You can earn points from every mission you complete, the more difficult the task can get more points, enough points can increase your hunter level, and the higher the hunter level, you will have access to more high-end, more rewarding tasks, such a simple circular logic, I believe with your wisdom can easily understand. Do you have any questions? â
"I have a problem!" Clear Sky raised his right hand in a gesture.
"You say." Dorne's eyes on the clear sky.
"Excuse me, how many levels of Phantom Hunter do you need to take over the rescue mission of the Brave Continent?"
Hearing this, Dorne exhaled unconsciously, "Clear sky, huh? We all know you. The series of rescue operations in the Brave Continent game is one of the top and most dangerous missions in the current system, and it is not a field that you can touch in a short period of time. As a beginner hunter, I suggest that you concentrate on level 1-5 missions first, hone your abilities, and gain experience. One day, when you have the ability to appear in the top 10 of the Phantom Ranger Leaderboard, you will have access to high-stakes missions like the Brave Continent games. â
"No, I can't wait that long, my sister Nana, she's been stuck in that game for so long that I don't have time! - "The voice of the clear sky is getting higher and higher.
"We know we've assigned the top three hunters to the rescue, and you have to trust your colleagues."
"No, I can feel Nana!" As he spoke, Clear Sky suddenly remembered the strange encounter in the training, "That's right...... It was during this hunter training that I entered a world of dragons and magic, and I saw myself playing the role of a priest whose name was Luna...... Tell me, is that my sister? What the hell is going on?! â
Dorn looked at Clear Sky's excited and sad expression, hesitated, and finally ...... Anyway, he decided to tell her the truth: "Yes, the clip of the game you saw in the training is indeed from your sister Nana." â
